General construction contractors · Search engine optimisation
Make your firm appear when an owner searches for a builder in the town.
SEO for a general contractor means writing and structuring your pages so that a search for a builder, a construction company or a type of building brings up your firm. GullySales works on the pages, the listings and the technical set-up that let a search engine understand what you build and where.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For general construction contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Owners search by building and place together”
A person with a plot searches for a house builder in a named locality, not for a general contractor. A single homepage cannot answer that. Each building type and each town you serve needs its own page that names both.
“Your finished buildings are invisible to search”
Photographs on a phone cannot rank. A project page with the place, the structure type, the built-up area and the year gives a search engine something to read and gives an owner a reason to ring.
“The word contractor hides what you actually do”
Owners write builder, construction company, civil works or turnkey, depending on the town. A page that uses only one of these misses the rest. We check which words searchers in your area use and write to them.
What we do
What we deliver for general construction contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A keyword and page plan
We list the building types and localities you want and map each to one page, so no two pages compete for the same search.
Result: A page plan you can tick off as pages go live.
Pages for each building type
House construction, commercial building, institutional work and extensions, each written for the person who searches it.
Result: A separate page for each job you want more of.
Project pages that can be found
Each finished building gets a page with place, size, structure and dated photographs, shown with the owner's permission.
Result: Project pages that appear in search for your area.
Technical clean-up
Page titles, headings, speed, mobile layout and sitemap are checked and corrected.
Result: A site audit with each item marked fixed or left.
Search tracking
We set up the tools that show which searches bring visitors and which pages lead to a call.
Result: A report naming the searches behind your enquiries.
How the result is measured
- Ranking positions
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from organic search
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
How the search engine optimisation work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Audit and baseline
We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.
- 2
Decide what to rank for
We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.
- 3
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 4
Build the pages
A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.
- 5
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 6
Measure, report, adjust
At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
